Man I just hope Belal’s eye damage is not Bisping level 🙏🏼

When Bisping says he's not faking the eye injury, you listen

DC is the wrong guy to talk about "accidental eye pokes"

Leon: "DC taught me everything I know"

*The UFC age of “No Contest/DQ” has arrived*

Should’ve gotten that man to ER straight away, there was no point for him to stand there for decisions and bullshit

Imagine when you reserve your energy, your not gonna use strength to close your fist it should just stay closed. Dana White fault, just fucking buy trevor wittmans glove design and move on Dana

Leon is heartbroken, and Belal eyebroken

D.C. saying it’s “accidental” it’s hilarious. He said the 17 eye pokes against stipe were “accidental” also lmao

I feel so bad for Belal. That looked so painful.

He keeps saying “taken away”, you poked him in the eye, it was your fault not anyone else’s

Master having a casual chat with his student.

It’s eyeronic that DC is interviewing about the eye-poke incident

DC the eye poking jedi iterviewing his padawan

"Eye am sorry" - Leon Edwards

The ufc seriously need to re design these gloves to try and eliminate eye pokes happens way to often nowadays

Leon 'Uchiha' Edwards stealing other men's eyes

Always these fucking eye pokes. Always. Edwards was winning but with this thing he'll not get a title shot, and Belal has now a damaged eye, hopefully not serious. Nothing good about this main event.

He is heartbroken because He didn't finish Belal, not because He damaged the man's eye.

"Taken away from me"? Come on, you did it by yourself twice! I hope that Belal recovers and that this will be not the end of his career by permanent damage or blindness on his eye.

Dana: leon is next for the title Leon’s finger: i’m gonna end this man’s whole career

"I want Mephisto in Westview"- Tony Ferguson

Poor Leon... nevermind the guy who just lost his eye.. good Job DC

Nobody take it away from you. You did stupid and horrible mistake after being warned once

"Yeah, I almost blinded a guy my bad. But I looked great and how about that title shot haha?"

Let’s take a moment to wish Belal a full recovery

1:39 "It was comepletly accidental" - yeah right DC. It was second eyepoke after the warning, Edwards should have been disqualified.

*Bilal gets his eye poked to bleeding* DC: Leon, Damn how tell me how are you. coping with this?

Honestly, they should punish them way more harshly. As we can see, without it being punished it's happening way more often now

The sounds of Belal's screaming is literally what nightmares are made of. Still can't get it out of my head. Hope he ends up alright, seriously.

Man this accident is heartbreaking as soon as i saw belals physical reaction it brought tears to my eyes. And im not one to cry easy. May Allah heal him.

It was “taken away” because of your own actions

Belal just posted on social media that he has no permanent damage to his eye, and that his vision is returning.

Leon: I'm back! Leon's finger: STOOPID I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU GET THE CHANCE

DC looking at León like he wants to give him a black belt.😅

Leon "Jon Cormier" Edwards.

Poor Leon? He was already warned about the eyepokes and he kept on extending his fingers every time he threw something.

DC acknowledges Leon Scott's "eye poking" technique

To be fair Leon was putting his fingers out there continually. It's an aspect of his game he needs to fix.

The ufc gloves are the reason there's so many eye pokes, they need to get it sorted before something really bad happens, this should be a warning.

Lol leon waited 2 years just for a no contest

3 in a row. Damn, can't wait to see the first groin strike DQ next week!

An interview between a mentor and a student

this should be a DQ, he already was warned before

Immediately after being warned he had his hands parallel to the ground. Should be DQ

I'm heartbroken that blinding another fighter is stalling my title shot - Leon Edwards, 2021

Not sure about DC being the right person to discuss stuff like eyepokes...

Unfortunately the UFC wants to own Trevor Wittman's gloves and not something he's willing to do (rightfully so). It's out of control, eye pokes, not knowing rules and poor judging. This could be prevented.

Leon edwards was warned before, this should've been a DQ

Leon Edwards Vs Daniel Cormier for the Eye Poke championship book it dana!

You took it away from yourself ! Keep ya fingers tucked in when at head level

"everyone has a plan until they get poked in the eye" -Leon “Jon Jones” Cormier

Just fight WHOEVER they give you now. Doesnt matter, you're on your way to get cut,and You're a world champion level fighter

Sensitive interview by DC - he's been there.

Could you guys imagine a fighter nearly blinding his opponent after a very stern and detailed warning and still getting less hate than a guy who was illegally kneed in the head? Oh wait...

Mann... UFC *NEEDS* to change up those GLOVES!!!! Theres better versions of the glove that reduce risk of eye injury!!!

LEON WAITED 2 YEARS JUST TO EYE POKE HIS OPPONENT :(

I was hyped to watch this fight and then found myself sitting there like damn this is the saddest shit I’ve ever seen

They might as well start with wearing glasses in every fight now

"I went for the cross head kick, then he stepped in." To your out strectch fingers, not a cross.

UFC gloves are the problem. Zuffa bought the rights to Pride FC, why not change the UFC glove design to Pride's. They had little to no eye pokes due to the fact that those gloves forced your hand in to a fist.

Father of eyepoke asking to son how it feels to used his technique😂😂

Leon : DC I’m heartbroken thoses moves you taught me didn’t work... maybe next time

There’s a video of Leon breaking down and crying shortly after this interview. Just in case anyone isn’t aware

The master finger poker talking to the student😂

How was that not a dq he was warned

I was impressed with your performance. - DC

*Leon "I trained by Pai Mei" Edwards*

Now Leon messed up big time

I literally saw him cry tears of blood 🩸 Just got to feel for Belal , sucks brother

Leon "Death before dinosaur" Edwards

What was Leon's walkout song?

poked him in the first round, poked him in the second round. yeah "accidental".

Leon: The opportunity is taken away from uh Bullshit.... Uh shud mind ur finger first. His eyes were Bleeding 🩸 🩸 did uh see that. It could get lot more worst than that

As someone who has been doing MMA for 15 years, i can confirm that eye poke is worse than Yan`s knee to head. Belal might have a permanent damage to his eye

UFC must provide eyes protection , glasses or something it’s happening very often

Belal "Remember the name, forget the eye" Muhammad. Damn that shit looked bad!

*Leon "Pokey" Edwards vs. Belal "Remember the Pain" Muhammad* Jokes aside, hope Belal a speedy recovery

The sooner Whitmann's gloves are brought in the better.

Worst poke I’ve ever seen. Eye swelled up and there was blood flowing from the socket.

The referee just told him not to poke then he poked again.Then calls it a no contest.Whaaat?! It should be a disqualification for Leon.But referee decides to be biased to Leon by calling it no contest.That eye poke can be career changing for Belal.He maybe not see again through that eye.Come on! The ref told you once yet you do it again.Forget how you feel Leon.

Why can't the UFC implement the MMA gloves that covers the whole hand and prevents it from stretching the fingers straight?

Belal "Remember the eye" Muhammad

Whether Belal cried from fear of being blinded or pain or both, one thing is clear; we need to switch to the curved style gloves other organizations have already adopted decades prior and had infinitely less issues with eye poking. You don’t see one of the toughest human beings on earth weep on international broadcast and take it lightly; that man is probably fearing his career is over, his sight is permanently damaged, can’t pursue his dreams and take care of his family... it’s heartbreaking and disturbing. Yes this is a risky dangerous sport and some of it is unavoidable but plenty of it can be mitigated very effectively and is unnecessary when tried and true alternatives already exist Do the right thing guys. It’s one thing to resist change but when you do the math of how much money is lost when your top stars are all being blinded and sidelined for god knows how long if not forever, the cost of switching the gloves pales in comparison Not everyone is Bisping and can be a world champ without depth perception and half of one of the most important senses for this sport- enough is enough Dana.

Jon Jones is the only person that can poke eyes, and get away with it.

It's a shame that the fight ended this way. I hope Belal is doing good... They gotta make much better gloves and DQ those who do the eyepokes...

He had fingers out the WHOLE fight... like disqualify the guy or put him on a bench for a year or sth... People like these are a reason this sport is viewed as too dangerous to practice

Mahummad and Leon are true warriors, absolute respect regardless of outcome. It was an accident.

Warned about eyepokes then continues to gauge a mans eyes out

That Leon Edwards is one to keep an EYE on, people POKE fun at him but he is a legit fighter. It was not intentional obviously but a pro fighter should not be extending fingers with a jab like that! But what can you do? = a) pull down Leon's shorts and play the bongo drums with his bare butt cheeks OR b) order an immediate rematch OR c) put Leon in with Usman whilst promising Belal a rematch later.

really not his fault. This problem is easily preventable with a curved glove like the other organizations use, and it could save fighters' vision and stop fights being ended this way.

Run this fight back again please jeezus

These eyepokes much more nasty than Yan's knee , yet just a draw

Jon Jones: I'm the P4P best eye poker in MMA Leon Edwards: Hold my nail scissors.

Bisping and DC got flashback from that eye poke lol

He should fight Geoff Neal or vincente luque and then if he wins he gets another title shot

Leon have to be disqualified with that eye poke He put all of his hand in belal eye not just a finger

Leon "rock in your eye" Edwards

That should be a DQ. Not a no decision. He was literally just warned after that very same foul. That needs to be addressed. What a dirty fighter. What are you mad that you’re not in a title fight or something? Well that’s not what you do to other fighters mate. You don’t deserve a title shot after doing such actions.

Respect to both fighters. Hope they run it back. They owe it to Belal.
